LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — A Richmond man has been identified as a Las Vegas murder suspect arrested outside of a Concord motel Sunday.

Evonte Brown, 28, was arrested after a Concord patrol officer ran the license plate number of Brown’s car, which was parked at the Studio 6 Motel at 1370 Monument Blvd. Brown and two female companions had a room at the hotel, according to court records.

Brown was wanted in the November killing of Bill Henderson, 31, who was shot several times inside his car near a Home Depot at 4750 S. Decatur Blvd. in Las Vegas. The area was described by police as a “high prostitution” neighborhood, and investigators received a tip that the shooting had to do with a dispute involving a prostitute, court records show.

Witnesses later told police that on Nov. 20 around 3:40 a.m., a man walked up to Henderson’s car and shot him several times, before leaving in his own car. A second car pulled up seconds later; its occupants pulled Henderson into their car and sped him to a hospital.

Henderson survived the initial shooting but died from his injuries a week later.

Police later determined around the time Henderson was shot, he had been calling a woman who was also connected to Brown. A month after the shooting, Las Vegas police responded to a domestic disturbance call involving Brown and the woman.

GPS signals from Brown’s phone placed him in the area of the shooting, according to police. Brown has an address on Nevin Avenue in Richmond.

According to Clark County court records, Brown was charged with murdering Henderson on Feb. 5, roughly two weeks before he was arrested in Concord.
